What's This Class About? 

 
In this immersive workshop, you will be guided through the foundational principles of Fool's Yoga - a practice that marries the physical awareness of yoga with the emotional authenticity of clown work. Discover how the red nose perspective transforms familiar asanas into deeper investigations of self-discovery, vulnerability, and joyful expression.

Suitable for practitioners of all levels - from yoga teachers and somatic explorers to clowns, performers, and anyone curious about embodied play as spiritual practice. No prior clown or yoga experience necessary, just an open heart and willingness to meet yourself with compassionate curiosity.

Bring: Comfortable clothes, yoga mat or carpet space, and journal.

About Danielle

Danielle Levsky (they/she) is a multidisciplinary teaching artist and educator whose creative practice weaves together clown performance, physical theatre, movement education, and trauma-informed arts programming. As the child of Soviet Jewish refugees, issues of diaspora, tradition, resilience, and humor profoundly shape their work and artistic approach.

A pioneering scholar of Jewish clowning traditions, Danielle has dedicated herself to exploring the profound intersection of humor, spirituality, and Jewish cultural expression. Their work delves deep into the historical and spiritual significance of the Fool in Jewish tradition—from the first laugh of Sarah in the Torah to contemporary Jewish comedy. Danielle also facilitates experiences that bridge clown practice, yoga, and arts education. Her signature program, The Fool's Yoga, is an original embodied class that combines yogic mindfulness with clown training, creating a unique playspace that encourages self-expression, healing, and connection.

Danielle holds a clown teaching certification from The Clown School in Los Angeles and a 200-hour Yoga Alliance certification in Vinyasa Flow. Her training also includes education with renowned artists such as Avner Eisenberg, Aretha Sills, Antonio Fava, and Eric Davis, as well as teachers from companies like Cirque du Soleil, Neo-Futurists, and Theater Unspeakable.

As a teaching artist, Danielle is committed to creating safe, generative spaces for diverse groups, including queer youth, refugees, trauma survivors, and community groups. Their work implements trauma-informed practices and emphasizes social-emotional learning, drawing on extensive training in the BuildaBridge International Safe Spaces Model and Hope Theory.

Clown Spirit is a remarkable resource for meeting and conversing with master clowns from around the globe. The access to masterclasses on a monthly basis is beyond my wildest dreams come true. Today's class with Jeff Raz was eye opening and heart opening on so many levels. Masterful teaching of the inner workings of clowning. Thank you Barnaby for building the extraordinary Clown Spirit!

The Masterclass series has been pure magic. It's hard to put into words how transformative it is to be a part of it and all it offers. The practices and wisdom shared in each one is a gift in itself; compound the workshops and it is truly a winfall! I am so grateful for the constant inspiration and encouragement, and for what I am learning about myself and clowning. Did I mention, Clown Spirit is M.A.G.I.C.?
